Poems about Shadow - Interview by DFUN Magazine January 15, 2021 堆疊轉換一首影的空間詩｜藝術家吳季璁 觀看他的作品，彷彿穿越山水、沈浸於一首首由光影譜寫而成的詩當中；平靜內斂，卻又耐人尋味。許多看似當代的手法之下，只要在細細探究過後，便會發覺其中蘊藏的東西方傳統美學能量；他便是如此擅長以帶有新意的藝術形式，重新為我們展現其獨樹一幟的新美學風格。 「光是我們能看到世界的基礎，影則是體現、隱喻物質和現象的存在。」­­­－吳季璁 畢業於國立台北藝術大學美術系之後，到世界各地參與藝術駐村計畫的吳季璁，向來擅長發掘平凡物件的可能性，並從日常材料及生活現象出發進行創作；如今，他的作品涵蓋攝影、錄像、裝置、繪畫與舞台設計，持續以多種媒材讓人們得以從不同角度參與新媒體藝術的多變性。 對他而言，不預設媒材的使用類別，更能夠自由廣泛地跨越標籤進行實驗，讓每一件作品自然地發展到合適它的藝術形式，而這部分從他在創作媒材的使用脈絡中，便可略知一二。從小接受繪畫訓練的吳季璁，繪畫成為他早期最重要的藝術思考方式，後來因擔心技術性過強的訓練成為創作包袱，便改以「錄像」作為創作的主要媒介，持續為自身的藝術注入不同的能量與新意。 「繪畫、錄像、接著是（光影）裝置，再到攝影，可以說是從平面性的媒材，慢慢嘗試到動態的影像、時間性（Time-based）的媒體；當回到處理攝影的時候，反而讓我銜接回繪畫的思考方式，有點像是從新媒體的角度重新與繪畫、平面結合。」吳季璁補充說道。 多元媒材創作不設限 吳季璁除了透過不同媒材的使用經驗，展開自身的藝術創作思維之外，常駐於不同國家城市也是讓他持續獲得靈感的方式之一。目前，他將臺北視為工作的主要製作基地，但他在德國柏林、越南胡志明市也都設有工作室；「柏林在過去二十年來一直是世界各地藝術家最聚集與活躍的地方，能夠接觸到各種文化藝術的養分，並且擁有相對合理低廉的物價，柏林工作室對我來說像是個Lab（實驗室），令我能夠專注去思考和嘗試新的東西。越南則是我目前最感興趣的新興藝術世界，我很期待觀察一個新的藝術社群如何慢慢成形。」 融合東西方傳統與現當代藝術的形式，再轉換出充滿詩意的想像空間，同樣也是吳季璁的藝術創作範疇。在2006年完成的裝置作品《灰塵》上，便是以東方特有的空間觀和宇宙觀，引領觀者以超越身體侷限的視角去理解、想像外在世界。 他於螢幕前方架設一台攝影機，讓其正對投影機鏡頭的光源，並對焦在空間中央，拍攝訊號傳回至投影機中時，便形成一個光線和電子訊號的現場即時循環。當投影機前的一腳架遮斷射入攝影機的光線時，在適當的位置和角度下，空間中的灰塵粒子將會反射投影機的光線；如同月亮反射太陽，以此帶領著觀者將視角放到灰塵的世界，看到另外一層宇宙。 沈浸式的光影環境體驗 空間在光影的堆疊之下，擁有了不同以往的生命力；同時，參與作品的方式也從觀看，而開始擴展至身體經驗。在與藝術家陳淑強一起合作的《極光邊境》作品中，吳季璁搭建了一面約30米長、10米寬的螢幕，在一個比籃球場還要大的廢棄火車維修廠房，使用維修廠房既有的物件與設備進行搭設，營造一處獨特的沈浸式光影環境體驗。 此次作品最大的挑戰是，場內每個物件都非常巨大、非常重，每次搬動一個東西幾乎都需要十幾個人合力，或是動用重型器械，光是火車馬達的線圈就超過一人高，重量也超過一噸；後來使用堆高機時，反而因為承載過重而翹起來，最後只好十幾個人坐在堆高機上壓住機身，才能搬動線圈。儘管過程艱辛，但對吳季璁而言依然是滿載而歸的體驗，「這樣的尺度感可以把日常熟悉的物件放大到遠大於身體的尺度，令光影本身變成沈浸式的環境，不僅對布展有很大挑戰，在想像上也有很強的刺激。」 影賦予的光之意義 儘管經常能在吳季璁的作品當中看見光與影的微妙關係、感受光影變幻所帶來的感官衝擊，然而，他卻認為自身的創作並不侷限於光影，「影像」才是他始終真正感興趣的部分。「藉由影像能最容易地去談論觀看這件事，並記錄下觀看的方式、視角；而在處理影像及思考觀看本質的過程中，很直接地會處理到光，這是一個自然的過程。」 最後，當問到自身是如何看待光影時，他更以一段話精闢說道，「『光』與『影』的關係有點像『虛』與『實』的差異；光是虛的，而影賦予了它意義、符號和想像的空間。」 Read more
